In personal life, mentioning the release of Dave's statement about having a child outside marriage, I'd recommend mentioning the fact that after Dave released that instagram post, Violet Grohl (one of Dave's children) had deleted all her social media accounts.
So, the paragraph (including references, links, etc) would be something like:
On September 10, 2024, Grohl announced on Instagram that he had fathered a fourth baby daughter outside of his marriage.[1] Violet Grohl, Dave's daughter, has seemingly deleted all of her social media accounts after this statement has been released. Purserays (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The content about his fourth child is already in the article. Original research regarding Violet's social media accounts is not appropriate to add. Schazjmd (talk) 14:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I wish to add the recent news about Dave Grohl's infidelity, adding it to the "personal life" or "2015-present" section of his wikipedia page Simsonchin (talk) 15:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Already done It's already included in "Personal life". Please read the article before making edit requests. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Please change {{DEFAULTSORT:Grohl, Dave}}
to {{DEFAULTSORT:Grohl, David Eric}}
; I believe sorting by birth name is a better choice.
Also, please update the Further reading section to have better bibliographic data; from this:
* {{cite book|first=Jyrki "Spider" |last=Hämäläinen|title=Killing Joke: Are You Receiving?|publisher=Milton Keynes: New Haven Publishing Ltd |isbn=978-1912587407 |date=2020}}
* Grohl, Dave (2021). ''The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music.'' New York: Dey Street Books. ISBN 9780063076099
to this:
* {{Cite book |last=Hämäläinen |first=Jyrki |title=Killing Joke: Are You Receiving? |publisher=New Haven Publishing |year=2020 |isbn=978-1-912587-40-7 |edition=1st |location=London |language=en |oclc=1190832462}}

Thank you, 83.28.217.24 (talk) 20:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Partly done: I'm admittedly not a categorization expert, but a quick search through other articles seemed to suggest that DEFAULTSORT uses a person's most-known-by name (William Clinton sorts by Bill, James Morrison sorts by Jim, etc). I did implement your request for the Further Reading section, thank you for that. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 22:25, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
